Popular Mechanics have published their review of the 2010 Hyundai Tucson crossover SUV. 'The Tucson's middle-of-the-road nature is engineered into every element of its being. Like virtually all the other vehicles in this class, it's built around a rugged and stiff steel unibody. The front suspension is, naturally, a pair of MacPherson struts and the rear suspension is a multi-link system on coil springs. There's a disc brake at every corner and, as is increasingly common, the rack-and-pinion steering system's power assist comes from an electric motor. The base Tucson GLS rides on 17-inch wheels in either standard steel or optional alloy while the loftier Tucson Limited rides on 18-inch alloys. Whatever size the wheels, the radial tires around them are 225-millimeters wide. And, as is expected, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control and a traction control system are part of every Tucson.'
